A Fuzzy Logic Controller Application for Marine Power Plant

Abstract

In order to ensure the quality of marine gas turbine generation set, its speed must maintain constant. Due to rising or falling power demand, the real and reactive power balance is harmed and hence the turbine output speed gets deviated from nominal value. This necessitates the need for an intelligent fuzzy controller to generate and deliver power in an interconnected system as economically and reliably as possible while maintaining the power turbine speed within permissible limits. The design of complex parameter self-tuning fuzzy control system and efficient simulation were achieved. The models were simulated for different load conditions in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. Simulation results emphasized the improved performance in comparison with fixed gain controllers. The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of a conventional fixed gain controller and improvement was achieved in terms of settling time, oscillations and overshoot.
